Steve and Curtis (your tag lines are hilarious),Yes, I am a licensed agent, but my funds and credit are limited.....see my earlier post.

the #1 thing that i have learned about real estate is that pretty much everyone you deal with is going to be hilariously greedy. this isnt my experience 100% of the time, but it is like that 99% of the time.i dont know about you, but seeing a property that is reasonably valued at $120,000 listed for $205,000 is outright ridiculous to me. all that tells me is that the owner is not in a desperate situation. most deals can only be had when the seller is downright desperate from my experience.in terms of deals ive seen hat are good in florida - i have seen absolutely zero since then EXCEPT maybe one, which was in a slightly remote location. the name of the motel is the Tangerine Inn (find it on google) in Volusian county here in florida, and i believe its a 12 unit foreclosure a few years ago that was listed for $160,000. the low price piqued my interest, and upon inspection, i saw that it was actually a doable deal, but only average. there wasnt a lot of competition nearby, but the place was very old looking and outdated. it required about $90,000 to fully renovate, and maybe $40,000 to get a few rooms up and running at first.a few weeks ago, i checked the volusia county property appraiser and saw that it sold for $60,000 in 2014 which was not bad at all. i called them and they charged a ridiculously high $80 a night for a crappy room. my guess is that they average only about a 35% occupancy rate whereas i have about a 90% i maintain throughout the whole year.besides that, every pther motel deal ive found online through sites such as loopnet were hilariously bad. $600,000 for a 10 unit motel. $950,000 for a 13 unit motel in clearwater beach.i will add more to this soon

. :)  That was hilarious.

That voicemail was hilarious.

I would suggest looking around the east side of Salt Lake.This "Judgement map of Salt Lake" is eerily accurate:http://utahpolicy.com/index.php/features/today-at-utah-policy/2814-check-out-this-hilarious-map-of-salt-lake-city
